FIFA 2015 Women's World Cup Soccer Error
ccg replied to DreamFLight911's topic in Canadian Coin Forums
In bulk orders, sometimes the coin in the capsule and plastic pocket come separate from the cardboard holder / COA - so you'd have to pair them up yourself. It would seem whoever sent it to you was being a bit sloppy and paired it up with the wrong COA. The $25 came out at about the same time, and both coins are the same size (7.96g) -
For a first year of issue piece, trial would be more of a possibility. For most dates, lead composition would generally suggest a relatively contemporary counterfeit.
-
It'd be very neat to run an XRF test or assay on that to see what the composition turns out to be - it seems quite interesting indeed. Not to derail the topic, but something related would be 19th C. counterfeits of silver coins (i.e. US silver dollar) in PT.

Inconclusive from the photo - that that color of patina is a bit suspicious.

Thanks for sharing!

Shows are a great place to meet dealers who you might not otherwise bump into, and a great experience for being exposed to things you may not have otherwise considered - excellent experiences for that alone.

Welcome! Generally, I'd use a grading cert on whatever would be best slabbed in terms of potential increase in value, or sale-ability.

Welcome!

Most of the $2's I've seen of late were 2003 and 2009 series. Some 2003A, 1995, and 1976 floating around, and once in a blue moon I'll see a 2013 series. I like getting them to spend - I've love to see people get more accustomed to them.

Must be a QC issue. Let's ask an engineer :-)

Nice piece. It's actually 90% gold. I find a lot of jewelers tend to overestimate gold and silver finenesses...
-
No, this would not be a US coin, if by coin you mean currency.

Came across this in papers both sides of the border - kind of amusing!

Welcome! Though many old Turkish lira notes are dated 1970, the larger denominations (e.g. 1 million = 1 new lira) are actually from much later.

Welcome!

Yes, but from pictures it's always a bit more difficult since some newer fakes can be quite deceiving.

Modern counterfeit.

This is a "Specimen Set". In Canadian coin grading, they are assigned SP- grades (as opposed to MS- or PF- grades).

There's a lot of variables, but you can always feel free to post pictures and details and we'll try to help as best we can. Most CGU (Chinese "Customs Gold Units") notes, though dated 1930, are actually from the 1940s and are relatively common.

All three are Roman. I don't have a reference handy so here's some quick guesses 1) Constans /Fel Temp Reparatio type with Emperor and Victory at Prow of Ship c. 350 AD or so 2) Mid 300s sometime. Looks like a VOT X MLVT... type that lots of emperors issued 3) Radiate (Antonianius) coin, later 200s. Reverse would be standing figure w/ cornucopia.

All I've got to show for this year thus far is a 69-S cent - not much to write about...

Thank You and hello from Copenhagen.
